Unfortunately, while very scummy framing, it's not something that would get anywhere in court. He is known for that incident, and they didn't call him any -ist. It doesn't matter that he's known for it because the media lied their asses off about it, he's known because of it.
Professor Brown notes that the common law of defamation has been described by scholars and judges as "artificial and archaic" and characterized by "absurdities", "irrationality", and "minute and barren distinctions"
I wonder how much of these "minute distinctions" need to be removed before Canadian libel law is as bad as America's. Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds discussed not only NYT v. Sullivan, but Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., which redefined "public figure" to mean anyone the media sees fit to demonize. SSRN is down right now, but here is the link to the law paper.
By this logic,
Rosa Parks: "Woman known for disturbing the peace in bus standoff..."
Martin Luther King Jr: "Man known for organizing standoff against first responders, leading to hundreds of arrests,..."
Jesus: "Man known for causing riot in Saturday market..."
Abe Lincoln: "Man connected to deadly theatre shooting..."
Fuck you for making me laugh :)
"Indigenous protesters?" All I remember was one native guy and a bunch of Black Israelites.
"Teen known for being slandered by the media slams media "war machine" at RNC."
I always get Global Times and Global News mixed up, but then I remember there is no difference.
One of China's newspapers which the state department has recently designated a foreign mission.

What the fuck were they protesting?
White people existing.

This.
While super weasely worded, there isn't anything technically incorrect about the title.
This is Canadian so he can't do shit about it
Canada has libel & slander laws too, looser than the US actually so it's easier not impossible.
No, not looser:
